driving home the other night i noticed taht my car was bucking/jerking badly. especially when i was just barely on the throttle. saturday i drove up to walmart and it started doing this at any speed, any gear, even in neutral.
i figured out what the issue was and i wanted to share it.
mine is an 07 cobalt, 2.2L, manual.
long story short what i found was that the intake tube had come off and i believe it was giving wrong info to the maf sensor which caused my problem.
reattached, tightened all clamps, all is well now.

Glad you were able to fix it and pass on the info that might help another individual.
